DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Country Report North Korea 3rd Quarter" country profile has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, will continue to consolidate his position and put the ruling Workers' Party of Korea at the fore of policymaking.
Although this may indicate Kim Jong-un's growing confidence, it will disturb the delicate balance of power between the competing interest groups in the country's most powerful institutions: the cabinet, the army and the party.
The ramped up pursuit of the country's long-standing nuclear programme has raised tensions and risks of war with the US. However, we do not expect a full-blown armed conflict in the peninsula in 2017-18.
